SUMMIT COUNTY — Middle Park senior Rylee Burrows sat in second place as she got ready to take her second run in Friday’s slalom at Keystone.

Although she trailed Battle Mountain’s Kendall VanHee by less than a second, Burrows wasn’t focused on winning her second individual title in two days at the Colorado state ski meet.

The only goal Burrows had was to make it to the bottom of the hill.

“I was trying to finish more than just go fast. Doing it for the team, I guess,” said Burrows, who won the giant slalom title Thursday. “It’s a good team event, and we all have to do what we can so we can win.”

Burrows had the fastest second-run time, clinching the individual slalom title over VanHee and helping her team take home back-to-back girls state ski championships.

“It feels great,” Burrows, said. “It really is cool to have everyone do so well and win it.”

The Summit boys won the team title, holding off Aspen, which was led by slalom champ Kevin Hartman and third-place finisher James Britvar.

After the alpine event finished, the Summit nordic team wrapped up the overall title by finishing second in the skate race. Vail Mountain School’s Sean Woods won the race, with Erik Lynch of Steamboat Springs second.

Summit’s Tucker McCrerey finished third for the second consecutive day. Although the sophomore missed out on second place in a photo finish with Lynch, McCrerey was happy with his performance.

“I’m really, really pleased,” he said. “… It was great how our team did and great to help us do it.”

The girls skate race was won by Vail Mountain School. VMS’s Lauren Zdelchlik was the top individual in the mass-start field, and teammates Amelia Ortiz and Sally Ryerson finished third and fourth, respectively.

Zdelchlik was trailing Middle Park’s Tracie Berggren until late in the race.

“I really worked the gradual downhill and just tucked in behind,” Zdelchlik said. “It’s really fun to see all my teammates coming in behind me, though.”
